Hunger Conference Announcement

The Food Bank of Delaware, Brae’s Brown Bags and the Food Research and Action Center are proud to present Delaware’s third annual hunger conference. This year’s regional conference is entitled Coming Together: A Community Response to Hunger to reflect that it takes all of us – children, adults, nonprofits, government entities, businesses, faith-based organizations, educational institutions and others – working together to end hunger in our communities.

Our conference is scheduled for Monday, May 4, 2015 from 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. (time may change slightly depending on speaker needs) at the Chase Center on the Riverfront in Wilmington, Delaware.

Coming Together will feature both an adult track and kids’ track, with opportunities for both groups to come together to identify solutions to issues related to hunger. Planning is currently underway for the conference. A complete conference agenda will be released at a later date.

Braeden has developed a Multimedia Design Challenge for students 1st through 12th grade to participate in across Delaware to have an opportunity to attend the conference. Every public, private and charter school in Delaware has also received an application to be part of this conference in addition to receiving the design challenge to hand out to their students. The cost to the students who attend will be covered by the event hosts.

The cost for an adult to attend the full-day conference (price includes breakfast, lunch and sessions) is $40 (must register by April 3). After April 3, the price increases to $50. Click here to purchase tickets. (Sorry, but we cannot issue refunds)

My non-profit is called 3B Brae's Brown Bags or 3B for short. A sub-project of this non-profit is called 3B Ripples and they are student chapters.
My ongoing mission is not only to feed people today, but to raise awareness about the problems of food insecurity and poverty, and empower and inspire youth across the nation to become part of the solution.
